I finally received my $500 black box earlier this week after a very long wait. I gotta say, I'm really pleased with my box, definitely exceeded my expectations. Seeing how much value I got out of it completely made up for the wait! Wanted to say a huge thanks to @meg@gem, @Reezy, and @AntNoir for hooking it up! Hope the best for the brand and the rest of the Black Scale fam this year! 2013 is your year!
